Footnotes

1. not mine, will need to edited a bit ↩

2. for some reason, data for flights got by the 'on' and 'to' methods are slightly different ↩

3. dict format → {'flight':{'number':None,'airport':{'origin':{'country':None,'IATA':None,'ICAO':None},'destination':{'country':None,'IATA':None,'ICAO':None}},'airline':{'name':None,'IATA':None,'ICAO':None},'aircraft':[],'time':{'departure':[],'arrival':[]},'operatingDays':[]}} ↩
